- Synopsis
- One terrorist incident at a big Pharma factory, four teenagers arrested by a SWAT Team; two versions of the story,
  
  Emily is a good girl, seduced away from her father's prosperity church by a pretty punk rocker. But Emily has fallen for the bait - Shae's really a dangerous terrorist, who manipulates the naive Emily into an underworld of extremist activism that culminates in a bombing. At least, that's Emily's side of the story...
  
  Shae sees things differently...
  
  Shae's a sucker for a broken bird - although she's been out since her teens, she falls hard for Emily, who is still reeling from the traumatic conversion therapy her conservative father forced her into. But Emily's not the broken bird she seems: she's a mastermind with her own dark agenda, obsessed with punishing those who hurt her. Before they started dating, Shae's protests were limited to snappy slogan tees. But Emily radicalises their relationship, pushing her towards terrorism, using Shae as a weapon against her father.
  
  As Emily and Shae tell their stories to an investigator, they each fight for their own version of the truth and tfind a villain in the women they loved.
